Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Children With Isolated Vesico-Ureteral Reflux. A Randomised Prospective Study of Continuous Low Dose of Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole Versus Surveillance.
Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Children With Isolated Vesico-Ureteral Reflux. A Randomised Prospective Study of Continuous Low Dose of Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole Versus Surveillance.
Randomized, prospective, multicenter study in order to assess the usefulness of antimicrobial prophylaxis in children with isolated vesico-ureteral reflux (grade III or less).
A voiding cystourethrogram was performed for each child less than 3 years old with a first urinary tract infection. In case of vesico-ureteral reflux, a randomization was done between continuous antimicrobial prophylaxis with low dose of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and no antibioprophylaxis. Duration of follow up was 18 months.
